Listening to this album it's clear that the power that swept off the stage and into the audience of Guildford's Civic Hall remains undiminished and nothing short of astonishing. The reputation of the 1972/74 King Crimson line-ups comes from shows such as this soundboard recording of the band. Having formed in July of 1972, the band played three nights at the Zoom Club in Frankfurt & recorded a TV performance for Beat Club Germany in October prior to embarking on a full UK tour. This was the fourth concert of that tour & features material from the album that would become Larks Tongues in Aspic when recorded the following January, alongside one of the band's fiercest (& longest) improvisations. This is the best known concert recording of the short-lived, legendary, quintet line-up. ## Images ![Live In Guildford (November 13, 1972 ) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tWstp0wML.jpg) ![Live In Guildford (November 13, 1972 ) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-ZVAzfnfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very valuable live document that contains an exceptionally exhilarating King Crimson improvisation *by S***) on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2015* Like many people who would read a review of an exhumed, obscure King Crimson show, I am a big fan of this ever-changing band, and all of its incarnations ... though I do have a bias toward Michael Giles's tasteful, gorgeously emotive drumming, and the Wetton/Bruford rhythm section, and the expansive mellotron, violin, and brass epics of the 60s and 70s (my favorite KC tunes include Wake of Poseidon, Epitaph, Fallen Angel, The Letters, Fracture, Larks Tongues in Aspic Part II, Starless, and Islands).At present, I've purchased no less than a dozen live albums by this band--from various eras---and in some cases found excellent, well-recorded versions of songs I already knew (Live in Asbury Park is a sterling example of this, as is Ladies of the Road---both are highly recommended). These recordings sparkle with embellishments and (in the case of tunes like Lament, Exiles, and Cirkus) additional living fire. Yet still ... I am hoping for something more than strong variations of music with which I am familiar when I buy these albums---I am hoping for some NEW music with which I am unfamiliar. I should also point out that I have mixed feelings about the purely improvised pieces that the various iterations of KC have recorded---often, I feel that the ratio of desultory wandering to inspired coherence isn't great. Sure, for two or three of its ten minutes an improvised number like "Asbury Park" coheres into something memorable, but not for most of its duration to my ears.So with this admitted bias, I was floored when I heard this album, Live in Guildford 1972. The sound quality here is flat---there is little depth and no dynamic other than one instrument blocking out another on occasion, but the 25 minute improvisation on this record entitled "All that Glitters is Not Nail Polish" is powerful, memorable, formidable, exhilarating, menacing, and inspiring. The version of Larks Tongues in Aspic Part I is good, and the other tunes aren't all there, but with this recording I finally found what I'd hope to find by buying numerous live releases from this band: some very good King Crimson music that exists nowhere else. For those on a similar quest, this lo-fi release delivers some real platinum.Ladies of the Road and Live in Asbury Park are great live albums that feature energetic elaborations of familiar material, but Live in Guildford is essentially a new album born in the maelstrom of interstellar Fripp, Wetton, Bruford, Muir, and Cross improvisation. Bravo gents. I'll gladly buy a dozen more live releases to find another gem like this...(An aside: The Bremen show provides the second best lengthy improvisation I've heard by KC--that one is 28 minutes--though it peaks in its first half, whereas the one on Guildford builds up and grows and gets more engaging throughout. And Improv: Cerberus on Central Park 1974 is 8 minutes of sharp platinum...) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crimson Holding Court *by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015* I would really want to give this a 5 star review because the music is so awesome but I have to be clear that it isn't a perfect quality recording. If you are reading this it is because you are a fan of this line up and for that I just say get it!!! This is an Early show including Jamie Muir on Percussion and all sorts so the rarity of the line-up addds a different dimention to this group. Unfortunaely Exiles is a mere snippit as are the last 2 tracks but the Improve All that Glitters is UnbelievavbleThe Power and Fury unleashed is about how I would sum this remarkable display of a classic band of stellar musicians. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2015* excelent --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/27790031-live-in-guildford-november-13-1972](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/27790031-live-in-guildford-november-13-1972) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
